H.E. Chea Serey, Director General of Central Banking, National Bank of Cambodia, attended the Thinkshop on Women’s Economic Empowerment: Enhancing the Role of Finance in Expanding Equal Opportunities for Women to Access, Use and Benefit from Real-Economy Markets, which was held in Bangkok, Thailand, from 20th to 21st January 2015.
The event is organized by UN Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) and hosted by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) aiming at addressing the demand (usage and access) and supply (entry and expansion) issues of markets for women which could offer pathways to new and additional market opportunities that eventually lead to the growth of economies as a whole. More importantly, financial markets have a strong potential to influence the course of other markets’ development as it provides the needed capital and means of exchange necessary to fuel growth and so financial markets could play a catalytic role in further growing inclusive markets for women.
